marissa (stylebook): I'm coming! And I know, a whole year! We don't know exactly when her birthday is, but it's definitely some time in July... one year ago she was living in the garden!

Sharks Keep Moving: I'm glad you like it! It's kind of silly, I know.

Kate: Yeah, it's so easy! Just a little button near the shutter release that you push in.

kaitlyn: Thank you!

Alyson Redding: There's a little button near the shutter release. You can get a manual here! http://www.butkus.org/chinon/canon/canon_a-1/canon_a-1.htm The lens I have is a Canon 50mm f/1.8 that it came with.

in dreams: Hmm, I'm not sure. Did I tell you about the embroidery floss at The Workroom? It's Cosmo brand. I don't know if that's the sort of thing you're looking for.

Siobhan: Ha! Perfect Saturday, then.

ThisTinder: Nice! I wish I could find my old tapes. They seem to have disappeared, although I remember selling hundreds of them at Driftwood Music a thousand years ago. Yes, I grew up in Toronto! The first few years of my life we lived in the Christie Pits area, and then moved a bit north west of there.

EvaForeva: Thank you!

amy w - over and under: It's true, it's hard for me to remember anything bad really happening, although I know bad things did happen, and I remember being sad a lot. Luckily most of what I remember involves careening down a hill on my bike and laughing a lot.

OPH is so gorgeous. Would have been amazing to see in person. Your house has changed a lot since I saw it last, I love all the changes you have made. I think the two photos of Geoff are my favorite. Your house is so full of light and beautiful objects, you've captured it so well.
